Currently the third bullet entry at
https://docs.openstack.org/infra/manual/testing.html#known-differences-to-watch-out-for
describes the situation with our CI resources. Our CI maintainers
lack sufficient insight into the hardware, hypervisors and host
kernels of the environments where these virtual machine resources
are donated for our use. In particular, until the state of nested
virtualization has stabilized long enough for it to become reliable
with mixed LTS GNU/Linux distributions and aging servers in many
public service providers, it's very hard for us to design for or
recommend relying on with upstream testing. We try to coordinate
with our donors to troubleshoot the various broken behaviors we
observe where possible, but it's far from a trivial exercise.
